The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 116

Check it out.

They don't look like a couple that has a rift right after their marriage; they are clearly very much in love with each other.

Xie Wan Ning indeed lived a comfortable life.

She is even freer and happier than when she was waiting to be married.

Without a brother to discipline her, she only had Pei Yuqing who obeyed her every request and allowed her to do whatever she wanted in Xuanhua Courtyard.

The two of them closed the door and lived their own lives.

When I have nothing to do, I go out and eat.

The temperature was getting colder day by day, and Pei Yuqing was indeed becoming visibly busier. Letters often came in at night, and he would read them all at once and give instructions.

On several occasions, he even went to the palace at night to discuss important matters with His Majesty.

He was originally weaker than others, and he was visibly losing weight after such hard work. Xie Wan Ning happened to have nothing to do, so he started to study soups, and from time to time he would stew a bowl of warm and nourishing soup and send it to the study.

In addition to soups, she also likes to work on pastries.

The weather was too cold. Except for two times when she went out to attend banquets that she couldn't refuse, Xie Wan Ning basically stayed in Xuanhua Courtyard to hibernate.

Since she no longer had to visit the princess' mother-in-law every morning and evening, she became increasingly lazy and often refused to get up until noon.

At the beginning, Pei Yuqing coaxed her with a soft voice, but the little girl was so coquettish and charming that he couldn't bear to be cruel.

Later, when she refused to sleep at night and couldn't get up during the day, which had affected her normal life, I began to take it seriously.

Regardless of whether Xie Wan Ning agreed or not, Pei Yuqing directly handed over several shops, farms, and wineries in his private property to her to manage.

As for Princess Duanyang, two months after their marriage, she also began to slowly give up her control over the household affairs to her daughter-in-law.

As a result, Xie Wan Ning became busy again.

She began to learn diligently how to be a good consort of the Crown Prince of Peiguo Mansion.

Time passed quickly. Every day she looked after the cooking, did needlework, looked through the account books, and took care of the interpersonal relationships in the mansion.

She had learned housekeeping skills from Zheng for several years when she was still unmarried. Although the staff in the Duke's Mansion was more complicated, it only took a little more effort.

Xie Wan Ning, the Crown Prince's Consort, is taught by her mother-in-law above and cared for by her husband below. There will be no servants who are so blind as to cause trouble, and everything she is told to do is done to perfection.

The Pei family itself has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they have their own rules for both big and small matters, so just follow the rules.

…………

That night, at Wuyuanhou Mansion.

Lu Ziyan stood by the window, his hands resting on the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the courtyard filled with dark shadows. He seemed absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Ming Feng walked behind him, presented a letter with both hands, and whispered, "Prince, this is a secret report from Qingzhou."

Lu Ziyan turned around, took the letter and opened it directly.

No one knew what was written in the letter, but his expression remained unchanged. He handed the letter to Mingfeng and said, "Now go and gather a group of people. I will go to the palace tomorrow morning to take up this mission from His Majesty, and then follow me to Qingzhou in the afternoon."

"Your heart disease..." Ming Feng read the letter quickly and said anxiously, "It's just a corruption case, why do you need to come in person? Just let your subordinates handle it."

Lu Ziyan asked, "Do you know the background of Qingzhou Governor Chen Wen?"

The governor was the military and political chief of a continent, in charge of military affairs and holding military power.

If the case involves the governor, it is not easy to arrest him. Besides...

"Chen Wen was a Jinshi in the 13th year of Jianning. He is a fellow villager of Chen Shizhong and once worshipped Chen Shizhong as his master," Lu Ziyan said, "If he is really involved, his mentor must be behind him. If you go there, you will probably die there."

Chen Shizhong is one of the three great ministers of the dynasty. He has been an official in the court for decades. His students and old friends are all over the Khan. Almost half of the court is his people. His granddaughter will marry the eldest prince as his principal wife at the beginning of next year.

This is the Yue family that Concubine Shu has carefully selected for her son for a long time, and they will also be the biggest supporter of the future eldest prince.

In his previous life, after Lu Ziyan ascended the throne and began to settle accounts with these scumbags, he found out that Chen Shizhong was actually involved in the case of embezzlement of disaster relief money allocated for the earthquake in Qingzhou City that year by local officials.

The corruption case was complicated and involved dozens of officials, but Chen Shizhong lived in seclusion behind the scenes.

Since he happened to encounter this period of time, it would be a shame for him not to dig up this backer, otherwise he would have to start over again.

If Chen Shizhong fell, the eldest prince's faction would be like a snake with its vital parts cut off, and they would never be able to make any big waves again.

Ming Feng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Ziyan.

He raised his eyes slightly and asked, "What's going on over there recently?"

"Pei family" has become a taboo word and is generally replaced by "over there".

Ming Feng secretly felt sorry for his master, but he didn't dare to say anything bad about Xie Wan Ning. He just replied, "According to the information I heard, Miss Xie is still living alone in the master bedroom. That man moved to the study room two months ago and hasn't moved back yet."

Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes, hiding all his emotions, and said calmly: "Keep watching her. During the time I'm away from Beijing, if she gets into danger, you must act according to your will and protect her at all costs. Do you understand?"

Mingfeng bowed and agreed.

Under normal circumstances, even the most serious tasks would have been completed by now.

But this time, Lu Ziyan tightened his voice and continued, "Repeat it."

"..." Ming Feng knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "If Miss Xie encounters any accident, I will protect her at all costs."

Lu Ziyan said: "If anything happens to her, you bring her head to me."

Mingfeng's whole body suddenly stiffened.

"Remember this," Lu Ziyan patted his subordinate's stiff shoulder and said, "Without her... your master probably wouldn't live for too long."

Ming Feng was shocked on the spot and his heart almost stopped.

Although they didn't say anything, they were all very dissatisfied with the fact that Xie Wan Ning, the "former mistress-to-be", abandoned her master and hastily married someone else.

Especially since Lu Ziyan suffered from heart disease because of this. He was so angry at her that he vomited three liters of blood, and he was even more furious with her.

Even if he was ordered to protect her secretly, only he knew whether he would just let her die if she was in danger.

"Get up," Lu Ziyan glanced at him and said, "Is it time for Liu to give birth?"

Mingfeng stood up as he was told and said, "The midwife came to report the other day and said it would be within these few days."

Lu Ziyan nodded and said calmly: "After the child is born, there is no need to wait for me to come back, just send Liu to the military camp."

Women enter the military camp...

Mingfeng was shocked again.

Although his master had a murderous nature, he never killed the elderly, the weak, women and children, let alone sent a woman who had just given birth to a child for the Lu family to the military camp.

This is simply to the point of hatred.
